Hey folks, I'm calling this a beta! Really, it's been better than beta
quality for a while. There will probably still be a few more updates
here and there (and certainly updates to the docs). Enjoy, and please test.
a/glibc-solibs-2.17-x86_64-7.txz: Rebuilt.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2013d-noarch-7.txz: Rebuilt.
a/grub-2.00-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
Welcome GRUB!
a/kernel-generic-3.10.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-huge-3.10.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

AlienBob:

Yes. I think UEFI was the only reason for having GRUB2 added and in the A/ series even.

Sure! But GRUB will require some command line work.

And with this batch of updates and fixes (clearing the rest of the
important stuff from the TODO list), we have arrived at Slackware 14.1
release candidate 1! Please test and report any remaining issues.
UEFI (with the exception of Secure Boot, which will have to wait until
we have real hardware) should be fully implemented in the installer now,
which will detect and warn about common problems, set up the EFI System
Partition under /boot/efi, and install ELILO and a UEFI boot entry
automatically. There's a new README_UEFI.TXT file with detailed
instructions for installing 64-bit Slackware on UEFI (32-bit won't
support native UEFI due to the mismatch between 64-bit UEFI firmware and
a 32-bit kernel, so Legacy BIOS will be the only way to install 32-bit
Slackware on UEFI). Several useful netfilter and networking utilities
have been added (thanks to Robby Workman and /dev/rob0 for these).
With this batch of updates, everything should be considered frozen
(including the kernel) unless there's a good reason to change something.
Enjoy! See you all for the release, hopefully soon. :-)

Nossa! Uma confraria de slackers. rs

Pessoal, um conselho: estou querendo conhecer o Current, já posso baixar ou é melhor esperar a versão 14?

olha, contornar o UEFI eo Boot Seguro, seria fantástico... Nova Tecnologia, novo código,
abrirá caminhos para outras distros driblarem o "Boot Seguro"
embora eu não goste de UEFI, parece que ele veio para ficar....
no Caso de Sabayon e Fedora, optaram por "pagar" a licença...!
em todo o caso, não tenho como testar, nenhum dos meus comps tem UEFI, eu não quiz nem no micro da faculdade, o Phenon.
mas que é uma coisa boa, é pq daqui a um ano, acho, todos os comps tem o tal Boot seguro.
tenho visto na rede quie até os MAC estãso resolvendo "proteger" o SO, para não instalar mais nada

Se já entrou em fase de RC tanto faz esperar. Tirando uma ou outra mudança, o RC já pode ser considerado o próprio 14.1.
